LED was available in the early 2000s I have a few remaining LED lights from about 2001 (and definitely from before 2004) still working. They are much heavier than modern LED lights due to large finned heat sinks and didn't fit in my nicer light fittings. They weren't in supermarkets then, you had to look for them, I may have bought them online
